Most Louisville area car owners don’t service their air conditioning until after it fails.Maintaining your truck air conditioning system means that you always have enough refrigerant to properly do the job. Small leaks in the air conditioning system allow the refrigerant to escape and the system can’t cool the air as well.

Along with the refrigerant, a special oil circulates in the system. The oil lubricates air conditioning components, and keeps the seals resilient. Low refrigerant and lubricating oil means that the air conditioning parts will wear out prematurely, and we all know that air conditioning repairs can be costly in Louisville.

Air conditioning service at Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center in Louisville starts with a visual inspection of the components for signs of damage or leaks. The compressor is driven by a belt from the engine, most often the serpentine belt, so it’s inspected for cracks or wear.

The air conditioning compressor and other components are checked for proper operation by your Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center service advisor. Then comes the leak test. If a leak is detected, often in a hose or connection, it’s repaired and the truck system is retested. Your Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center technician will also perform a temperature drop test.

If needed, the old refrigerant is evacuated and the system is recharged with clean, fresh refrigerant. A final test insures that the air conditioner is working, and you’re on your way.

How often this should be done at Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center varies from vehicle to vehicle. Your truck owner’s manual will have the manufacturer’s recommendation and, of course, your Honest Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center service advisor can tell you. It’s typically every two years.
